Research Resource Identification Initiative

The Research Resource Identification, #RRID, Initiative is designed to help researchers cite the key biological resources used to produce their scientific findings. We know that researchers do not always write all of the excruciating details of their experimental methods sections, sometimes even if they want to, they are turned away by page limits or by convention. We are here to support authors by making some parts of their methods section more transparent and rigorous by allowing them to easily access millions of "Key Biological Resources" on our website and giving authors an unambiguous proper citation format. This format is echoed on many company and project websites around the world.
